So I thought if I was going to play with the new smaller chest I may as well have a go at the three stacking ones I bought in Jubail a few months back!!
Not looking too bad... though I think I will play some more.
I used the big earring gem stones for the centres of the flowers.
The shop still had one of the trunks left so I picked it up for me! I will have a play and dolly it up just as soon as I finish the jigsaw pieces that need to go off in the post in a few days to meet the swap deadline. Just 4 pieces to go as I finished two of them this afternoon and will photograph them in the morning.
OK... I think this was lovely black persian cat last week... but someone has given it a haircut - a bad haircut.... a very bad haircut!! Poor thing looks a bit like a poodle now! I guess all that fur in 40 degree temps is a bit of a liability but.... shame, its completely ruined its street cred!!
Now don't laugh... the poor thing will never come out of the house again!! LOL
But on the bright side... if I go back to the tat shop I can fill my basket with more of these goodies!! You see the gem bling thingies? They are earrings, 6 pairs on each card and the cost? 30 pence for the 6 pairs!! Yahoooooo... they look absolutely fab at the centre of a flower and cost silly money... the ribbons? 15p a strip and they are stunning! The beaded edging stuff? The man sold me that entire bundle for £1.50....
I found these, aren't they brilliant? They are for carrying your mobile phone and have a little zip compartment for your money too. They cost silly money but anyone recognise the logo? Think French designer of the little black dress and perfume with a number 5 in the name....
Do I look like I care its a fake? LOL
This is a notebook I made for my hairdresser neighbour... it has a matching large peg for keeping her notes in order but I forgot to photograph and its now residing on her fridge...
Chris and I ventured off to Khobar yesterday to the big supermarket to fill our new chest freezer with decent meat and I had to stop and photograph this road name sign.... they obviously go for the concise, easily memorable name theory here....
And its Mother's Day here tomorrow - everyone seems to celebrate the US date and there is a lunch for the compound ladies and we each have to bring a gift valued at about £10. They then do this weird thing where someone picks a wrapped gift, opens it and decides whether they want to keep it... the next person can choose a new unwrapped gift or 'steal' the previous persons... yeah, its sounds confusing but I guess I will figure it out as we go along!! Anyways, I hadn't a clue what to get until I spotted this wooden trunk and then dollied it up a bit to make it look acceptable (I hope) so that's what I am going to wrap up and take with me!! I'll let you know what I end up with... The big tag has a poem by Marion Baker on it:
